A delightful twist on a classic dish, this recipe features chicken breasts coated in a flavorful herb crust, baked to golden perfection.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking dish by lightly greasing it.
Preheating ensures even cooking and a crispy crust.
Place the breadcrumbs in a resealable bag and crush them lightly with a rolling pin to achieve a finer texture.
Crushing the breadcrumbs ensures they adhere better to the chicken.
In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed breadcrumbs, dried herbs, and melted butter, mixing until evenly coated.
Mixing the butter with the breadcrumbs helps create a golden crust.
In another bowl, whisk together the egg and milk until well combined.
The egg wash helps the breadcrumb mixture stick to the chicken.
Dip each chicken breast into the egg wash, ensuring it is fully coated, then press it into the breadcrumb mixture to coat evenly.
Pressing the chicken into the breadcrumbs ensures a thick and even coating.
Place the coated chicken breasts into the prepared baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the crust is golden.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Serve the chicken hot with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
Garnish with fresh herbs for an added touch of flavor and presentation.
